Hello all,
I personaly didn't have much trouble with my AMD-756 and anyway, I
can't exchange the hardware so I wrote the following patch agains 2.4.3
to be able to force usage of my hardware.
I tried to clearly state that doing so is dangerous, if someone finds
a more frightening way of saying it, please do.
Hope you like it
Manuel
PS: Please reply directly, as I am not on the list.
